Finally did it!
I’ve tried all the tricks mentioned in threads and forums that I’ve come over and probably 50 join attempts over several months. This is what did it for me:
- Turn off all zigbee things nearby.
- Turn hub off and on again (restart) (not sure if this is necessary)
- Reset the Trådfri driver by pushing the pin in the driver reset for 10 secs (lights shall blink)
- Wait 20 seconds then turn off the Trådfri driver
- Wait 10 seconds then turn on the Trådfri driver
- Search for Trådfri driver using the new ST app (add thing - Ikea - Lighting - Trådfri driver for wireless control).
It seems that interference from other things is more important than I thought. The hub discovered something with interference, but did not recognize it. I hope this may be the key to add any thing in the future.
Some other info that may be useful.
Wifi channel 1. Zigbee channel 24.
The event list now shows a zbjoin event where it was recognized as an Ikea Trådfri Driver.
The next event is probably just for information:
